Ya don't Thayer
In addition to the Ivory Gull, another Arctic visitor in Canal Park was a Thayer's Gull.
Arctic Ivory
An Ivory Gull has been visiting Canal Park in Duluth the past few days and has the local birders excited. Also a not-so-local fellow from Germany. This bird is not often seen south of its high Arctic home.
The bird had been seen the two previous days so I decided to go look myself. I arrived in Canal Park around 9am and the bird was easy spot as there was a crowd gathered to watch and photo. Lured with offerings of perch, salmon, and tuna, the gull remained in close proximity to its viewers. Amusingly, it moved close enough a few photographers with long, large lenses had to back up to stay in focus.

Fall Fury at Forty Five Fahrenheit
September blows into Duluth. 45 degrees, gusty winds, and drizzle.
